A Prophet

I never get sick of good prison films or good gangster films. End of story. So I might not be the best one to judge this film since I was pretty much guaranteed to like it.

The film is about a young Arab nobody who ends up becoming a Mafia kingpin while in prison. It seemed a little farfetched how quickly he was able to rise to such dizzying heights but it was still fun to watch. A good shanking always makes a movie more entertaining, doesn't it?
